Published on 08/01/13 at 07:24Tube preamp + compressor fet
Format rack 2 inches.
All XLR connectors, 3 format entries for the preamp (line, mic, di), possibility to use separate compressor and preamp via a handy splitter, in the studio where I was working I had installed fixed with two outputs connected, its use in protools with pathways called was very fast, I could quickly turn the compressor alone insert, save my preamp dry, record the complete chain, or use the online preamp and compressor to treat a single source like a snare track to swing in the console, physically processed (it changes everything ..)
UTILIZATION
It can not be simpler ... The only thing I do not understand what is the input impedance selector of the compressor, simply because I do not know that it is a normal line level device impedance, so when know, it is actually a mountain. Good but it is not serious, the tool is handy, versatile and friendly.
SOUND QUALITY
The word is best to describe the type of color that brings preamp is a sound "character" pom pom, which is warm, round but defined. Like everything, it's good to use it sparingly, and good taste, as a condiment in cooking, if you put cinnamon in every dish, well we can not feel it, and we can not distinguish the qualities of the other ingredients. Station and therefore to indigestion! Vary the preamp if possible to understand when to use it!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for two years, I used neve (portico, 1073, 1081) chandler, tech tube, avalon. I love him, and self-sufficiency that creates the signal is clean, rich and deep. What I like least is that the coup is quite vintage and it takes a modern preamp for against-swing in its config. The value for money is not discussed because it pays the intellectual property, trademark and exclusive.
